INSPEX is a @Horizon2020funding project which will provide prototypes of smart white cane embedding
INSPEX: Integrated Smart Spatial Exploration System
INSPEX is a European project, funded by the European Commission as part of the Horizon 2020 program. The INSPEX objective is to develop a portable/wearable, multisensor, miniaturised, low power spatial exploration system. The INSPEX system will be used for real-time, 3D detection, location and warning of obstacles under all environmental conditi
ons in indoor and outdoor environments with unknown static and mobile obstacles. During the three years, three prototypes of smart white cane will be delivered. These will iteratively integrate all the research of the project. INSPEX use applications include mobility for the visually impaired, safer human navigation in reduced visibility conditions (smoke, dust, fog, heavy rain/snow, darkness or combinations of these), small robot/drone. INSPEX participants are :
- CEA-Leti
- Cork Institute of Technology - CIT
- CSEM
- GoSense
- Université de Namur
- SensL
- STMicroelectronics NV
- The University of Manchester
- Tyndall
